The Dolphin Inn is in the heart of the VA Beach hotel/resort zone (on 17th) right on the boardwalk/beach side of the street. Location was perfect for the July 4th fireworks and for people watching. Room: decently sized, even when we crammed 6 adults and 2 children in the room. The two double beds were quite comfortable and the jacuzzi... more

Me and my family stayed here which including myself and my husband and our children. We allowed the children to stay in the room with the two double beds and we stayed in the living room which there was a divider to allow privacy for getting dressed and the pull out sofa was ok. We have a timeshare in St... more

My family has stayed at this hotel 2 years in a row. We used to live in VAB so we never had to get a hotel, however, we were very happy to have found a new "home". The pictures on this site are exactly how the rooms, and hotel look. Very clean rooms, minus the sand we dragged in. The... more

This was the worst place I've ever stayed! The rooms are nothing like in the pictures. They are small, cramped, and dark. The bedroom only had one lamp in it. There was no closets at all and only a couple of drawers for clothes I don't see how six people could have stayed here. The bathroom was not very nice.... more

My wife and i stayed at the Dolphin Inn last month. We were there for three nights. We got to choose from one of three hotels as a reward for going through Gold Key's time share sale presentation. We choose Dolphin because of the three it seemed to have the best reviews. We arrived 30 minutes before official check in... more

Had a 4 day/3 night stay at the Dolphin Inn in Virginia Beach. As we took the bus in from Newport News ttrain station that let us off at 19th and Pacific, the hotel was in an excellent location on 17th and Atlantic. We got there early but had no problem getting a room right away. We first wanted a... more

My wife and I both work for Marriott and have always stayed at Marriott hotels. While the Dolphin was no Marriott, it was extremely nice. When we first walked in the room we were a bit taken at first by dark spots on the carpet and the odor of the room. Even though it was a smoking room, it did... more

Was totally surprised at how awful it was, any pictures showing it as a beautiful place to stay, are truly doctored professionally..The bathroom itself had a major problem, there was a plexiglass smoked window located in the shower wall allowing anyone in the living room to see one's silhouetto showering, and if anyone was sleeping on the pullout sofa during... more

The rooms were very spacious and clean-nice large jacuzzi tub in bathroom, private bedroom, kitchenette, two TVs, large LR and right on the ocean! employees... more
